HC Deb 24 February 1959 vol 600 c132W
68. Mr. Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he will take the necessary action to ensure the automatic relinquishing of office of any justice of the peace found guilty of any crime; and whether he will take the necessary action to remove Colonel Keith Sykes as chairman of the Upper Agbrigg Licensing Bench in view of his recent convictions.

The Attorney-General

The answer to the first part of the Question is "No". The answer to the second part is that my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor is at present considering the case.
